Summer Reading Lists (& math packets) 2013

See below for MANY area public and private school’s reading and math assignments for the summer.  Please add a comment to this post if you have a link to provide with other Summer reading lists or math packets.   It’s often helpful to know about many school reading and math lists to compare, contrast and enhance your child’s education.   My kids and I love to read and will certainly read the required books from our schools but I also think it is interesting to see what our friends at other schools are reading should we find more time for extra books!   Read More »
